Thank you!
Backup:
1) shutdown: zero out unused space
Figure out which partitions / and /boot are loated on. Gparted
works well for this..l Usually they are /dev/sdb3 and /dev/sdb4:
partitions must not be mounted
# zerofree -v /dev/sd..
# zerofree -v /dev/sd..
2) shutdown: make a dd and gzip
Find the device name (/dev/sdx)
Note: if the "dd" crashes on a USB3 port, try a USB2 port
status=progress cuts your size in half.
# dd status=progress bs=4096 if=/dev/sdx | gzip -v >
